It has been brought to my attention by several coworkers that most of them find cannabis--thc specifically--makes time go much faster for them. The day flies by compared to normal. I'm just the opposite. Any amount of thc stretches time to its limits. It makes the day feel so, so long. Even a little bit of H4CBD has me in the time tunnel. I feel like I'm gonna be here forever. I'm curious if I'm in as much a minority in the grand scheme of things as I am in this building.

I’m same as you. Time perception slows way down. It’s one reason I enjoy it. Watching two movies at night after smoking feels like I had a whole day off.

Interesting. At home it doesn't have the same sized effect. When I don't have to be doing and paying attention to a bunch of shit, I have a pretty good sense of time. Stoned or sober, I usually know the time off the top of my head within ~10 minutes. I know because my wife thinks it's neat and likes to test me. But at work all the details grow to enormous size and duration. I'm so caffeinated and going so fast that the world gets slow around me. It makes me even more Flora from I'm a Virgo than usual.

I watch movies and shows in 20 to 30 minute increments. I love that "oh boy, this is going to be good" feeling when you first turn it on but that fades. That's why I break it up. Much more total enjoyment.

I'm with you. My toothbrush has a timer that tells me when to switch from one part of the mouth to another. When I'm sober, it feels quick, like I can't get done in the time I have. When I'm high, it's like "oh, it's still going on? It hasn't buzzed yet? Did I miss it? Feels like forever."

Tell them you aren't supposed to lace it with speed.

It's all dispensary weed with COAs and shit xd. I sometimes sell them the edible and see them eat it. And it doesn't fuck their sense of time at all like mine. It makes the day faster and easier for them. It's inexplicable to me.

My favorite thing to do is to point my chair towards the sun a little before sunset get super high and bask in it. In that state my ability to tell time no longer exist, all that exist is the position of the sun and the stretching of the shadows. It feels like time stretches on a little bit longer just as the sun sets, like reality itself allows you an extra personal minute to say goodbye to a good friend before they depart for the night.

Might depend if its a sativa or indica. Time slows down for me to, but i attribute that to my strain being indica dominate.

Well I tend to avoid anything too stimulating in terms of cannabis because it makes me anxious. But this is even just a small amount of plain thc without terps or minor cannabinoids. Hell, the H4CBD I've been mixing in with my CBG to elevate my mood has incredibly minor effects compared to thc, and it still does it sometimes.
